| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To improve the efficiency of animal cloning, we used mice to detect egg-specific reprograming factors, by setting proteins that are abundant in the cytoplasm of unfertilized eggs, compared with enucleated pronuclear-stage eggs, as target proteins. Quantitative mass spectroscopy of proteins that were isolated from eggs and that fulfilled the conditions of target proteins found that nucleoplasmin had the highest localization rate and was therefore the top candidate reprograming factor. In this study, we were able to produce cloned embryos by concurrently injecting nucleoplasmin mRNA during nuclear transplantation and to verify the efficiency of embryo development, fertilization, gene expression by performing in vitro culture and transplantation.
